To solve the problems presented in the uploaded image, we need to analyze each question step-by-step. I'll begin by translating and interpreting the text for problem-solving.

### Translation and Interpretation

1. **Problem 2:**
   - Xiaoming is playing a game where his initial score is 2.
   - As the game proceeds, his score changes randomly over time, following a continuous random variable \( X \) (indicating the time when the score changes).
   - The score changes to a value \( Y \), where \( Y \) is a random variable representing the score after the change.
   - The score \( Y \) is related to \( X \) such that \( Y = 1 - 0.85^X \).

   **Questions:**
   - What is the expected value of the score change time \( X \)?
     - A. 1
     - B. 2
     - C. 3
     - D. 4
   - If Xiaoming stops playing before his score reaches 1, what is the probability that his final score is at least 1?
     - A. 1
     - B. 0.85
     - C. 0.7
     - D. 0.6

2. **Problem 5:**
   - If Xiaoming stops playing, his final score is \( S \).
   - To reach the final score \( S \), he must ensure that his score does not decrease below \( S \).
   - What is the maximum possible value of Xiaoming's final score \( S \)?
     - A. 4
     - B. 6
     - C. 7
     - D. 8

### Solutions

**Problem 2:**

1. **Expected Value of Score Change Time \( X \):**

   To find the expected value, we need to understand the relationship between \( Y \) and \( X \):
   \[
   Y = 1 - 0.85^X
   \]
   This is a geometric sequence where \( X \) can be interpreted as having an expected value depending on the geometric properties. Given that the choices are integers, we would need more context to precisely determine the expected value without further calculation or assumptions about the distribution of \( X \). In practice, if we assume a simple exponential decay pattern, we might guess that \( X \) has a lower expected value. We would have to use more sophisticated methods to calculate this exactly, which may go beyond a simple interpretation.

2. **Probability that the Final Score is at least 1:**

   If Xiaoming's score must be at least 1:
   \[
   Y = 1 - 0.85^X \geq 1
   \]
   Since \( 0.85^X \) must be non-negative and less than 1, \( Y \) will always be positive if \( X \) is positive. If \( X = 0 \), then \( Y = 0 \), which would mean Xiaoming's score never changes. The probability depends on whether \( X \) allows \( Y \) to fall below 1.

**Problem 5:**

1. **Maximum Possible Final Score \( S \):**
   To determine the maximum possible final score, we observe the constraints on \( Y \). Given that \( 0.85^X \) can never be zero for positive \( X \), and assuming no constraints, \( S \) could technically reach the starting value adjusted by the game's rules, which typically caps at a realistic game maximum.

### Next Steps:
1. Check calculations or assumptions.
2. Verify if additional rules or context is given in the game that may alter assumptions.
3. Formulate detailed step-by-step calculations if more context is provided.

If you have any specific questions or need further details, please let me know!

Here are five questions you can ask next:
1. Can you explain the method to find the expected value in more detail?
2. How do we calculate probabilities in random variable contexts?
3. What is the impact of geometric sequences in random variables?
4. How can we determine constraints for maximum values in games?
5. Can you show a step-by-step solution for one of the problems?

**Tip:** When dealing with random variables, always consider the distribution type (e.g., geometric, normal) and its properties to accurately determine expected values and probabilities.
